Good for Dave. He's been such a great guy for the Corvette over the years, and now he gets to relax and really enjoy himself, his family and Corvettes. I bet he says pretty involved with the Corvette world.
Thanks for the great ride, Dave!

I wish David the best of luck. He is truly one of us. I love the fact that he is so readily available to us at NCM events and so willing to take the time and discuss things. I hope that we get the same treatment from his replacement. Where else would you see the Chief Engineer of an automotive platform in jeans having beers at an enthusiasts "cruise-in" Only in a Vette!

Best of luck to Dave in his retirement. I've met him a few times and he is a very likable guy. His talents will be missed in the Corvette community.

Hate to see him leave, but maybe, just maybe, Corvette will now find time to fix all the dang issues with the C6 - but somehow I doubt it

Who cares??????????? No offense...but I heard him speak..he put me to sleep...someone needs to tell him that the car is $60000..makes it sound like a drop in a bucket......probably forced out seeing what was done to the C6...

The neat thing is that if you don't like the C6 you don't ever have to buy one. Compared to the competition for our cars, $60K is a drop in the bucket and lastly, due to just plain negative comments rather than constructive criticism we will never see him on this forum or any other.
